I’m the former Editor-in-Chief for Bearing Drift Magazine and a former writer at Bearing Drift. While I’m conservative with a libertarian twist I no longer write (much) about politics, but concentrate on faith, art, writing and entertainment. Thrown in for good measure are posts about family and life in general.

I am a member of the Music and Fine Arts Ministry at West End Assembly of God. I also serve on the Board of Directors for CAT Theatre. In July, 2010, I was appointed by Governor Bob McDonnell to serve a four-year term on the Virginia Board of Counseling.

I am a former member and President of the Asbury University Alumni Association Board. I have also served as a board member and president of the Runnymede Neighborhood Association, the Shady Acres Recreation Association and the Neighborhood Learning Center (Washington, DC).

I live in North Chesterfield, Virginia. Thanks to the U.S. Post Office, I used to live in Richmond, Virginia. We didn’t move.

I share my life with my wife of almost 28 years and our two sons. One, a film student and future academy-award-winning-buy-your-parents-a-beach-house director, and the other, a teenager who plans to design video games, or at least play them for the rest of his life. Completing the household are Nic the Dog, who is far too old to act like such a puppy, and Mo the Cat, to whom we all report.
